William’s Violin Concert   

Friday, December 11, 2009

 

William had his Christmas Violin Concert tonight, and he did such a good job!  They played 5 songs, and did so good for it being his first performance.  He just started violin at the start of the school year.  I’ve enjoyed listening to him practice, and being able to help him train his ears to listen to the note being played to know if his fingers need to be moved or not.  It’s so much harder than playing a guitar, (the only thing I can relate it to, since I can play the guitar) because there are no frets or anything to help you know where to put your fingers on the string.  He knows where to put his thumb, and then has to learn where to put the others, based on the note he is playing.  It’s so fun to see him learn and progress.  He’s really enjoying it.  Although, he looks at the cellos, and I think he secretly wants to play those by the look in his eye.  We’ll see where he goes with this.  For now, I’m just glad he’s having the experience.  It’s so good for him, and he’s really doing a great job.
